Ideas to Tie In to "3 Cheers for Animals" -- Part V

Summer's almost over, and it's time for the last installment of my list of ideas to incorporate into the "5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals" Daisy Journey! Today I'll be listing some ideas to use for Mari's Story, "Rumbles and Roars," which talks about her trip to Africa, where she saw a baby elephant and parrots!

Do the Elephant Walk activity listed in the book. My girls had a lot of fun trying to follow the leader with their eyes closed. You can set up an obstacle course -- as we did with chairs --but be sure to have enough adults on hand to guard against bumps and bruises! Alternatively, you can put lines on the floor for the leader to follow, a la this activity.

I hope you've enjoyed my posts about the "3 Cheers for Animals" Daisy Journey! If you have any ideas about things to do to go along with this Journey, please leave a message below! And be sure to come back to read about our meetings this year.
